Today was the day he was going to build his house. He had been thinking about it for weeks and the idea of becoming independent and living on his own was something that wasnt going away. His recent double promotion had proven to swell the young mans head for a few days and until the novelty had worn of Saul Stormbringer had walked around Dahlia with a large smile on his face. He had jumped for Lehrling to Spaher and then within a few weeks had left Spaher behind for Jager. It was an achievement for him that he was very proud of. In the weeks since Saluce had left to go off on his own for a while Saul had progressed a good deal. The basic reading Skye had taught him had been enough for him to get through the books on bow making and he had heeded his teachers advice and had collected as many nails screws and planks of wood he could find. The wood store had been a little short and not long ago he had made his way out to Dahlia's section of Ethereal Eclipse to fell a dead tree. It hadnt taken to boy long to make appropriate sized planks of darkened wood from the tree. He was set and ready to go.


The early morning run that started each and every day of Saul's life since he returned to Dahlia had been cute short when Saul had caught the scent of a large deer herd cross the borders. He had managed to catch a small doe and had dragged it back into Wolfville to be shared by anyone who wished to take a bite. Still he knew that he would have to get to work soon. The snow was still blanketing the ground but he had kept the foundations of his house clear when the snow had first fallen. It was all set, he just had to get his materials out there. Returning to the Victorian house he had lived in for three months Saul picked up the large satchel containing all his nails and screws. He made his quick way out the back to start gathering the wood. It would take at least five times to get it all out to his little area by Oberons Spring.


Dragging the first load out towards the area was easy. The weight was nothing to him and he was pleased to see that his biceps were becoming impressive. It was the hours of physical labour he did each day and his betterment at his hunting skills that attributed to this sudden burst in muscle mass. But he was glad for it now. A small smile glanced over his lips as he looked at his foundations. A large box of woof filled with even amounts of rocks and a layer of hard wood planks made for a steady foundation to his house. He wanted a large master bedroom for himself a kitchen/diner and a living area. He toyed with the idea of putting three small bedrooms in as well for the future but decided against it for now. He was just about to start living on his own, better not start thinking about finding a mate till later.


Titling his head back the young Stormbringer called for his brothers and his teacher who had all offered their services in helping him build this house. He knew Saluce was back but he had been unable to catch up with him yet. Perhaps they could have a nice conversation while the grey man taught them all how to build something, for Saul was still a little in the dark about what he actually had to do. With a contented sigh Saul turned back to Wolfville to collect another bundle of his wood that he needed.

Saul had a rough idea what was going to happen and where things were going to go. It was simply a matter of getting things in the right place and at the right angle and also in the right order and make it somehow secure. He knew very little about building a house, but his decision to wing it and go for it anyway could perhaps be called foolish. But then again, he didnt want to stay in the Victorian house any longer. Eclipse was becoming a little menace, running around and getting under everyone's paws. It wasn't a problem for the eldest Stormbringer but he didnt want to hurt his baby cousin by stepping on her or falling over her. So it really was time to go. When Nayru had met him and she'd said that she found the energies too much, Saul hadn't exactly understood. But now he knew what it was like to want to get on with things in his life but have to worry about everyone else in the house. Of course, this was what pack life was about but it didnt exactly have to be right in his face.


Stretching his muscles overhead Saul picked up the last pile of wood that would complete at the very least, the four walls of his house. Anything inside would be his problem. And he still needed to find some sturdy beams for his roof. But that would come later. Green eyes peered around Gideon's door and a smile graced his lips as he saw his brother snoring. Padding over Saul jabbed him playfully in the ribs with his toe before telling his brother what was going on. After getting a rather groggy agreement from the man, Saul halved his load and gave Gideon the other half. Melee and Range were most probably out terrorising something and they were nowhere to be seen.


The journey back was shorter, but that was probably something to do with the dark haired boy next time him. Chatting easily about their lives and the house they were just about to build they didn't see the foundations until they almost stumbled on them. Throwing their wood onto the large pile already there Saul turned at the sound of an approaching footstep. It was probably Saluce. A smile graced his lips as the older man approached and Saul allowed his tail to wag once as he spied the tools at his teachers belt. He had come prepared at least. Nodding in his direction Saul turned to ponder on the foundations for a moment.


"Okay Saluce... where do we start?"


He asked, picking up a plank of wood to look ready for action. In all honesty Saluce would be the leading light in this little adventure. Saul would just reap the rewards of their hard work.
